    [MENTION=59]Enscheff[/MENTION], not everyone is interested in going into a GDT and making bets or wagers to prove a point just to discuss the game. I think living in Nevada has made you addicted to gambling.

    If you can't enjoy the GDT without preemptively attack others I'm going to give you the night off, especially because Newk is pitching and whether he walks 5 or 0 I already know you've got material ready.

    Off days will be needed in this stretch but I really can't defend Snitker. The time for that is simply not now.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Maybe the biggest series of the year so far and Acuna and Albies will not play together in either games of the double header...which is maybe our biggest advantage we have.

    First time I’ve said this. Snit needs an office job. This is just so bad....really....really bad.

    Where in the rules does it state we not allowed to propose bets in game threads????

    You should probably just ban bets altogether. Folks don't honor them anyways.

    Very odd that the 2 youngest guys can't play both games of a DH.

    Ozzie is in a mini-slump but I can't defend not starting and leading off Ronnie in Game 1.

    Would you rather have slumping Ozzie or slumping Dansby.

    I kinda doubt this one starts on time.

    https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?...101111&loop=no

    They'll want to be able to optimally use Scherzer, so I'm betting on an approaching weather delay.

    On another note, overall offensively if you look at it it makes sense. Braves have four good hitters that don't have a major flaw that hurts them when they put bat on ball and four questions. Two of those hitters are youngsters and we've been dealing with their ups and downs, but they've overall been positive.

    If you look at it, Freeman and Markakis have been the rocks, but it's going to be Acuna and Albies performances that takes, or doesn't take the Braves to the postseason. That is not a bad thing with them being young, but that's where we are.

    Game 1 lineup pissed me off. Now I am full rage. Might need some beer and my son’s video games to cool my ****. I normally don’t play that ****. But it is nice to get my ass kicked online by kids to calm me down.

    Our manager is not smart enough to think along those lines.

    I allow bets and wagers. But it's not even fun anymore. It's gotten to borderline trolling with you coming after people fishing for wagers. Some people just want to enjoy the GDT. That means getting pissed off at Snitkers or enjoying a homerun. We don't need to constantly bring up "intellifans knew this" or Camargo's walk rate regression every time he flies or grounds out or strikes out which turns into bickering and more "wanna bet?" stuff.

    Sit them durning Miami or Mets. Or hell. Just burn both in one game. Play a full sub game. Don’t ****ing toe dip this across multiple games.

    It looks like the Nats are taking a chance here, maybe an hour storm will blow in about the third inning.

    I’m at a loss for words. AA has to be punching a wall somewhere...he has to. He will never say it in public, but you know behind closed doors....
